NetBSD 11 booting on a Raspberry Pi 2B with rhe official 7" LCD touchscreen attached

**Ceci n'est pas un Mac mini.** 🎨

As Magritte might have said, appearances can be deceiving.

It may look like a Mac mini, but it's actually a Raspberry Pi 4B in a custom case I designed and 3D printed with my Bambu Lab A1 mini.

And, of course, it proudly wears the NetBSD logo.

Who needs a Mac mini when you can have a little NetBSD box of your own? 😄

Three-quarter top view of a finished, black 3D-printed Raspberry Pi case. Its minimalist, rounded-square design resembles a small desktop computer, with the NetBSD name and flag logo recessed into the textured lid. The enclosure rests on a wooden surface.

A short update on this one: The workaround with disabling TCO and SG via ethtool seems to work, I haven't had a problem with any of my 3 Pi 5 after executing the following command:

ethtool --features eth0 tso off sg off

Warning: This doesn't survive a reboot. See this comment for a way to automatically apply it upon each reboot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi/+bug/2133877/comments/34

Twice since my Ubuntu 26.04 update, one of my Pi 5 control plane nodes seized up. Not entirely, just all network access seized. After a reboot, the logs are still there but show a ream of errors from apps not being able to send or receive any network traffic.

No kernel errors at all though, besides the Ceph driver complaining that it can't connect to any MONs.

There might be a kernel bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi/+bug/2133877

Today's plan for computering with Deutsche Bahn is to look into switching off TCP Segmentation Offload and Scatter-Gather more permanently than with a manual ethtool execution. This is to fix the issue with the Pi 5 networking dropping out on the Ubuntu 26.04 7.0 kernel.

First step is to write an Ansible local fact script which determines whether the Pi is a Pi 5 or a Pi 4. As so often, Raspberry Pi has excellent docs on that already: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html#raspberry-pi-revision-codes

Most home dashboards fail by showing everything they can. The hard part is deciding what to leave out.

Ours runs on a Mac mini and a Raspberry Pi driving an old Samsung Frame TV. Calendar, weather, Powerwall, Octopus tariff, bin days. Notices only appear when they matter, and energy is one sentence instead of a wall of kilowatts.

Did you know that I made “The fastest way to get #NeXTSTEP on your #RaspberryPi up and running”?

If you’re into #RetroCcomputing, give it a try.

Updating NetBSD system files on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with the 'sysupgrade' utility requires a small edit to /usr/pkg/etc/sysupgrade.conf:

RELEASEDIR="https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-$(uname -r | cut -d. -f1)/latest/$(uname -m)-$(uname -p)"

This changes part of the subdir from "evbarm" (which doesn't exist) to "evbarm-earmv6hf" (which does).

Please note that I might not know what I'm doing, being quite new to NetBSD.

I am "burning" a 62.2GB image to an SD card. The software started by saying it would take 11.5 hours!
The OS I am installing is PiMega and is designed to be booted on a Raspberry Pi, particularly models 4, 400, 5, 500. I have a 400.
Here is the author's own video on his YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/OFa8YWv6j98 *
CubicleNate has a review here: https://cubiclenate.com/pimiga/

* Unsure why my own burn is so slow as the author states it should only take 10 minutes! Oh well. It's truly on the back burner as I have plenty else to do.

And after a few days of modeling and a 3D print, it looks like a handheld! And it has a handle too 😊

Thanks for the comments all! A couple of people mentioned it but yeah it does have strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes!

Let me know if you make one. Enjoy!

I may have to move it to slightly more powerful hardware for my own sanity…
